A lot of people are into fashion and a lot of people are into zodiac signs so why not combine the two? If Zodiac signs inform who we are as people then we should take some style inspiration from that! Here are some of the best colors and styles to implement into your wardrobe.
Aries (March 21- April 19)
Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, are said to be independent, impulsive, tough, and ambitious. They like to take fashion risks as part of their personality. Being bold is who they are and it reflects in their style. Fire is the element associated with Aries which matches the color pallets of multiple shades of red, rusty colors, and deep shades. Mars is their ruling planet which is the planet of competition, meaning if you’re an Aries, you will always show out no matter where you go. Focus areas of an Aries are the head, face, and hair so if you are an Aries, try something like a bright bold red lip, some statement jewelry, a funky hairstyle, or a cool hat!

Taurus (April 20- May 20)
A Taurus is typically said to be as stubborn as a bull which also happens to be their zodiac sign’s animal. With this aside, they also happen to be dedicated, patient, and natural-born leaders. Perhaps this is why Taureses are so trendy and are typically seen investing in sometimes expensive statement pieces. As Earth signs, Tauruses are drawn to various shades of browns and greens. They care a lot about what they wear and have amazing one-of-a-kind styles. Venus being the sign's ruling planet means they are romantic and won't be afraid to splurge on clothes for any special occasion. Tauruses are not afraid to try something new. If you’re a Taurus, your focus areas are the neck and throat, so try out a plunging neckline or dazzling statement necklace.

Gemini (May 21- June 20)
Geminis are charismatic, intelligent, very open, and just overall love being happy. They are social butterflies and one of the trendiest signs. This sign’s ruling planet is Mercury, which is said to be the intel finder planet. With this in mind, it makes sense that they are always in the know about recent trends. Their elemental sign is air, meaning Geminis love to take fashion risks and are very out there. Their colors are typically shades of blue and purple but they have an accent color of yellow. So if you're a Gemini, try incorporating pops of any shade of yellow into your outfits! Focus areas of the sign include the arms and hands, so you'll typically see Geminis wearing a lot of bracelets or rings. Accessories are a Gemini's best friend.

Cancer (June 21- July 22)
Cancers at their core are creatives. Being a water sign Cancers are typically introverted, and emotional but are also very understanding and generous. They are ruled by the moon which is ever-changing just like a Cancer’s style. They are not predictable in any way and will always surprise you with what they are wearing because they will always change it up. Their colors are typically different shades of blue reflecting their water sign qualities. Cancer focus areas are the chest and the stomach, so you'll typically see them in tops that accentuate their chest or in a crop top that accentuates their stomach.

Leo ( July 23- August 22)
Leos love being the center of attention. They are known for their self-confidence, leadership abilities, and honesty. But they can sometimes be drama queens. Leos rule the sun and are a fire sign, which we can see by their big personalities and color pallets of golds, oranges, and reds. Like their zodiac’s animal, the lion, Leos love to make a statement. This flare translates to their style in the form of bold patterns and attention-grabbing colors. Like a lion's mane, one of the focus areas of a Leo is their hair, and it’s typically one of their most noticeable attributes. Some other focus areas are the back and shoulders, so you might see a Leo in a backless top, dress, or an off-the-shoulder top–they aren't afraid to show some skin.

Virgo (August 23- September 22)
Virgos love perfectionism and beauty, which shows in their style with them living for the little details in their outfits. They are also known to be practical, cool-headed, and ultimately problem solvers. They are ruled by the planet Mercury which is known to be meticulous. These earth signs have a simple style consisting of earthy greens and other light pastel colors. They gravitate toward a refined look, often taking a basic piece and styling it in their own subtle way. Focus areas consist of the waist and midriff area, so they love a good crop top with some high-waisted jeans.

Libra (September 23- October 22)
Libras value balance and are natural mediators. They love communication and they are a very carefree and creative sign. Libras are air signs and, with their zodiac symbol being the scales, they love balance and we can see that in their outfits. Given that they are ruled by the planet Venus or the planet of beauty, Libras tend to want everything to flow seamlessly in their outfits. They don't like clashing patterns and will typically wear things like matching sets. Their colors are pastels mixed in with deep purple or blue, they want to include a balance of light and dark in their outfits. Libra's focus areas are the lower back and the butt, so you will typically see them in some curve-hugging pants.

Scorpio (October 23- November 21)
Scorpios are the sexy and mysterious people of the zodiac; a person who will always catch your attention with their fashion and have you wondering who they are. They can be characterized as being brave, passionate, and independent. This water sign will always keep you guessing, especially in their fashion. They are people who are going to dress for their mood. Scorpios love to rock a dark color palette consisting of black and deep red, purples, and blues reminiscent of their ruling planet Pluto. They have an exciting style and aren't afraid to mix more chic and gothic styles together. Their focus areas are their eyes and hips, so you will sometimes see them with a dark eye look with some bold liner.

Sagittarius (November 22- December 21)
Sagittarius is a fire sign that is free-spirited and adventurous. They aren't afraid to be known as a little odd. They are very smart, generous, and funny. Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter, meaning they love to explore and like to invest in a wardrobe that travels well. They love the outdoors and we can see this in their more natural color palette consisting of various shades of greens, oranges, and yellows. Sagittarius knows what works for them and their style and they are practical with it and typically aren't ones to follow all of the trends. They like things like denim and workwear due to their practicality. Their focus areas are their hips and thighs so wear fabrics with some stretch sometimes to accentuate your figure and because it's just easier to move in, for all your adventurous endeavors.

Capricorn (December 22- January 19)
Capricorns are organized, ambitious, and goal-oriented. They love sophistication in their outfits and always go for elevated basics. These earth signs are ruled by Jupiter, the planet of structure, and love a clean and neat look. Somehow, these signs are always picture-ready. Their color palette consists of nude, muted colors and basics like black, gray, and brown. They want to look and feel powerful in what they wear and love to emphasize their bone structure with swept-back ponytails or buns. The focus areas are their teeth and skin so you will always see them taking special care of their appearance with routine trips to the hair or nail salon and spa.

Pisces (February 19- March 20)
Pisces are said to be sensitive, gentle, and pure of heart. They cherish the arts and are a very artistic sign in general. Incorporating the arts into their style is something they do often. They love delicate patterns and try to keep it interesting with the outfits they wear, but they tend not to get too bold. This water sign is ruled by Neptune, ruler of the seas, so Pisces will sometimes have a beachy feel to their outfits, typically wearing lots of cardigans and knitwear. Their color palette also embodies the sea with multiple shades of blue while also incorporating dreamy, soft pastels that reflect their subtle nature. Their focus areas are feet, so shoes are a staple in their outfits.
